the male characters are on average worse than the female ones, both because they are aesthetically "arranged", with a lot of apparent kinship, then because they must absolutely be sexually harmless, in no way competitive with MC at all, at the end of the day in a porn game this is how it works.We need to look at the problem more broadly. There are no interesting male characters in the game at all. As a reader, I am interested in only two male characters - Tommy and Burke. They are self-sufficient and contradictory, while others are simply tools for creating the right atmosphere.
Burke is generally the best character in the game for me. He is afraid of his wife, allows himself to be humiliated, tries to grotesquely court Bella. But at the same time, he covers up prostitution and drug dealing in college. How could such a cowardly and pathetic person decide to do such a thing?
Tommy is also interesting for his contradictory character. He cares about his brothers and is determined, but at the same time he indulges his weaknesses (drugs and women) and falls to the bottom. How low can he fall and how will he rise?
the so-called "charismatic bass player" is deeply missing, that is to say that sidekick of the protagonist who could potentially replace him even being a secondary character for the charisma of his character
in theory it could have been Jacob, but from the Hots he made an epic impression...
for Lostanddamned it could be Magnar, but only for him...
about Tommy I agree, but Burke no, he's another ridiculous bad guy
